Hi guys,

Fried my mobo today, so decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my setup.
My current set-up is an Athlon XP 2500+, 512mb DDR and some gigabyte mobo.

Anyway, i'm not looking to spend too much (read under £400), so I took a look through the OcUK bundles and spotted this one:

AMD Athlon 64 3700 Retail / Asus A8N-SLi Premium / 1GB GeIL CAS 2.5 PC3200 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle (BU-029-OK)

All for £320.60.

What do you guys think, worth the buy?

You'll need a PCI-E graphics card as well. But other than that, looks good.

Oooh...really?

I've got an AGP one atm, I presume no AGP cards work the PCI-E mobos then?

Back to the drawing board....
 
That does sound nice, and obviously with that setup I could run my current GFX card? Then when I wanted to upgrade to a PCI-E gfx card I could...right?
 
That deal seems even more enticing...

I also run IDE HDD's, not SATA - that board would be compatible then?

Just to clarify, the component which I currently have are:

2x IDE HDD's
1x AGP GFX card
3x PCI cards

I'm clued up with computers, but i've just fallen behind the times with the whole PCI-E and dual core mobos, hence why i'm covering all angles.

Thanks for this help too guys, really appreciate it.
 
no, the gfx card doesnt have a big cooler so that's fine.

My email is in my sig, if you'd care to give me more info on that deal lee.

*edit*

Oops, just re-read your post...it's only the mobo i'd have to get from elsewhere.
Nevermind :)
